Trust will examine how leaders build credibility, connection, and common ground—even when people see the world differently. Focus will explore how leaders can cut through distraction and complexity to concentrate attention on what truly matters. Execution will look at how clear direction can be transformed into aligned action, sustained performance, and meaningful results.The event is expected to gather over 8,000 business leaders from around the world, offering a two-day program of timely insights on business and leadership development.Headline Speakers AnnouncedThe first confirmed speakers for Nordic Business Forum 2027 include globally recognized business leaders, authors, and thinkers:Trevor Noah – Comedian and Bestselling AuthorEsther Perel – Psychotherapist, Author, and PodcasterThe Rt.

Intelligence is everywhere, but clarity is rare,” says Priit Liiv, CEO of Nordic Business Forum. “The challenge for business leaders is no longer how to access more knowledge. We need clarity; clarity about what matters, clarity about where we are going, and clarity that gives people the confidence to move.”“Today, we have access to more intelligence and possibilities than ever before,” says Ville Saarikalle, Head of Speaker Relations at Nordic Business Forum. But more information does not automatically lead to stronger leadership. Clarity is what allows us to distinguish what matters, align people around a direction, and move from possibility to progress. That is the conversation we want to create at NBF next year.”A limited number of media passes are available, granting access to the full conference experience, including catering, a media working space, and potential interviews with speakers and event guests.
